Thanks. I doubt that the company has any explicit "weapons policy", but since I'm a "consultant", they need no special excuse- anything I do that makes anyone uncomfortable would be plenty. I also doubt that they have anything like a "first responder team" (sort of conflicts with the Dilbert theme).

On the other hand, maybe my desire to have something more substantial on my person is just a hang-over from my earlier circumstances. After all, the "car" is just 100 feet away now, not 30+ miles. I felt much more exposed when the possibility of a terrorist attack could leave me stranded without the subway as a return route.
